EXCLUSIVE ALBUM REVIEW - Marion - Great Escape

Sorry this was suppose to be up a month ago but I had too much to do for college and such like. So here it is Marions' album Great Escape, a RnB singer with a voice so angelic and delightful its almost heartbreaking. It's no wonder this 22 American artist is being called the next Bruno Mars. His full name is Marion Carter and is quite a dashing young man. I recieve this album through Damien Simpson and had a listen. If thre i ayone lookng for a present to give to their mum/sister/girlfriend/wife this is it!

TRACK LISTING

great escape - Beautiful guitar intro, sounds like Neyo but wth the lyrico Jasmie Sullivan, empowering tune

return - Piano intro similar to Sarah Barrelis Love Song, soulful beat and lyrics, about someone sorry for thier mistakes and picking themselves up so they can get back wth an ex partner.

walking wounded - A very dark sounding dance tune, perfect for a RnB club, makes you want to get up and dance like you are a proffessional.

cant wait - A classic sounding if not slightly generic love song from this genre. I love it but its a song not for the broken hearted as they would proberly break down listening to it.

play with my mind - Appreciative of women, can imagine my boyfriend singing to it to make me smile coyly. Its the next Bruno Mars amazing. I want to see this in the charts so much its unreal.

replace it - sad song with a beautiful piano melody, its almost minmalistic would work brilliantly as an acoustic song.

world upon my shoulders - Starts as a club tune until it properly kicks in and becomes a perfect slow jam.

I wish - Powerful lyrics and drum beat. Like a love song but more of a slow jam that you can be single and listen to without hysterically weeping, unless you are the one in the wrong.

this life - Great steady beat, perfect for any occasion, almost lke a modern lullaby lyrically. Reminds me of Craig David with the little rap.

impossible - My favourite song on the album, poetic,true and if only I could reach those high notes without sounding screachy.

Overall it is a beautiful album and I cant find a fault with it. A 5 Star album and I can definately see him being better known in 2011.
